No one is shown using drugs on screen, but there are several references. For example, a character discusses how her mother was in jail for drugs and "the things women do to get drugs."

An underaged teenage girl gets grabbed without her consent by a man at a club while walking by him. She responds by grabbing him on his crotch and verbally telling him off.

In an early scene, the main character is on pointe and her ankle snaps. It's never decidedly broken but it still may be considered graphic.

The main actors are minors going to high school and they have a sex scene at someone point in the movie. But there is another moment when a man in a club (unclear how old he is) grabs Kerry Washington butt when she walks in (she is definitely a minor)

The main character's romantic interest dances sexually with another young woman. He didn't consider it an issue but she did. They discuss it and reconcile.

There are at least two scenes: one where a characters young son is crying a lot as his parents are fighting, and one where there's several children at a doctor's office and several are crying.

The main character's mother is killed in a car crash toward the beginning of the movie. She is shown injured and bleeding from her head while still in the overturned car.
There's another scene in a drive-by where a car is shot, bursts into flames, and then rear-ends a parked car. People are injured in the crash but are assumed to live.
